Getting help
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
You've installed an automated and customized qmail-run package. If
|
|
you're having trouble getting the qmail daemons to run, ask the
|
|
package's maintainer:
|
|
|
|
<URL:mailto:schmonz-pkgsrc-qmail@schmonz.com>
|
|
|
|
Many members of the qmail mailing list recommend following the
|
|
install instructions in Dave Sill's "Life with qmail" document:
|
|
|
|
<URL:http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html>
|
|
|
|
A "Life with qmail" installation is done by hand, so any qmail
|
|
package necessarily deviates from LWQ in at least this respect.
|
|
Therefore, if you need to ask for help on the qmail list, please
|
|
mention that you're using the qmail-run package from pkgsrc.
|
|
|
|
If you can first reproduce your problem on a manual LWQ-style
|
|
installation, your request for help is likely to be better received.
|
|
|
|
It is highly recommended that you read Charles Cazabon's "12 Steps
|
|
to qmail List Bliss" before posting to the list:

Deviations from LWQ
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
LWQ suggests doing some things that the qmail-run package doesn't do:
|
|
* Copying a script from /var/qmail/boot to /var/qmail/rc.
|
|
* Configuring svscan(8) to run at boot.
|
|
* Creating and/or populating /service.
|
|
* Using supervise(8) and multilog(8).
|
|
* Using the qmailctl script to control qmail.
|
|
* Using the inst_check script to verify the installation.
|
|
* Storing tcp.smtp{,cdb} in /etc.
|
|
* Renaming the system sendmail(8) and marking it non-executable.
|
|
|
|
Instead, the qmail-run package:
|
|
* Provides NetBSD-style rc.d scripts, including one very similar to qmailctl.
|
|
* Sends log messages to syslog(3) by default.
|
|
* Stores tcp.smtp{,cdb} and tcp.pop3{,cdb} in ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}.
|
|
* Uses mailwrapper(8) and mailer.conf(5).
